Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I'm having an issue with the check_icmp command, The NagiosXI server that im using right now is not able to connect to ServerX, I can ping the ServerX but when using the check_icmp / Check_host_alive command, it is unreachable. This is a generic device. Is there any way that I could use the ping command instead of check_icmp/check_host_alive? Or add a command that could check the Server like 'traceroute -I a.b.c.d'?

This is again related to my previous post about SNMP.

I also have attached an image, I'd like to clarify when is this done? Is this
1. After the Installation of Nagios XI on New Server
2. After the Installation & Restore on New Server
3. Before the Installation of Nagios XI on New Server
4. Before the Installation & Restore on New Server

Thank you!

Hello, @s_dimzon. I'll start with your second question. You'd do it after the restore. Take a look at this guide here: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf
Yes, you can use the ping command instead. You'd just go to the Core Configuration Manager and change either the check_command in the Host Template. Or you can change the command for the individual hosts. The command you want to change it to is called check_ping.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you @npolovenko!
It's working!

We can close this post now.
